I have really tried hard to find the cover photo from Newsweek this past November 9, just last week’s edition. The caption was so perfect for the 43-23, I just wanted to use it. The headline is The Thinking Man’s Thinking Man. The magazine article is about climate change, but Al Gore is so exactly a lesson in design.

He is an example for the planet, a model for educated, measured, profound and inspired thinking about the state of the earth. The Thinking Man. Here’s Al’s chart: http://humandesignsystem.com/archive/charts/GoreAl.pdf

He has something to say. When you listen, it’s like he’s opening a thinking furrow in your brain, a new path that can bring you to a kind of awe, certainly respect for how much he knows, how clear and insightful he is and incredibly able to alter and enhance your own mental understanding on a very important issue.

The reason I felt it was so cosmic that Al Gore was on the cover of that Scorpio issue was because the Sun now transits those degrees of Scorpio that activate gate 43, forming the channel with Earth in opposition, gate 23.

Kim Gould, www.loveyourdesign.com, recently wrote about the transiting Sun Earth channel, using key phrases that are popular, Genius to Freak. You can certainly agree that Al Gore gets his share of that polarity. She said people with that channel really identify with it.

I began a correspondence with her on what I think gets completely ignored and is much more important than registering recognition (though that’s important, too). The 43 is an Ajna gate, meaning it’s an awareness gate, and has an expression gate in the 23 that can weaken the insight, the breakthrough, the revolution by not listening.

People with this channel need to study to really know their material and benefit by truly turning inward to gain the awareness aspect of this expression. It’s Al’s North Node in 23. Kim asked, “what about this evil yin, the growing of the dark force? Is there anything good about the 23?”

The receptivity to the awareness and to allow the insight to be heard, to make a radio groove, a record, recording what inspires. Kim has the 63-4, like Al and then the 23. She studies, follows her own muse, is inspired, then maybe that’s the erosion, to be like the tiller, making the ground fertile for innovative ideas to come out into the world and grow.
